Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson plans to make Anders Lindegaard his latest summer signing, according to The Manchester Evening News.
The 26-year-old, who plays for Norwegian side Aalesunds, is apparently considered by the Scot as the long-term successor to veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
Following Ben Foster’s £6 million move to Birmingham City, the Red Devils now have three first team goalkeepers on their books, with Ben Amos providing cover to Van der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak.
United have been linked with a number of goalkeepers over the last year, with CSKA Moscow’s Igor Akinfeev, Lyon’s Hugo Loris and Manuel Neuer of Schalke all rumoured to be targets for the Old Trafford club.
Lindegaard, dubbed the ‘new Peter Schmeichel’, could be set to join the Red Devils and would be available for a cut-price fee.
The player’s agent, Michael Stensgaard, who is a former Liverpool goalkeeper, has confirmed his client is attracting attention from European clubs.
He is quoted as saying by The Manchester Evening News: “Anders has been playing at a very high level for a long time now and that has been noticed around Europe. He absolutely has the ability to play in the Premier League.”
